Poll: Most say this is lowest point they can remember for US

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 11/01/17 07:59 AM EDT

A majority of people surveyed in a new poll say this is the lowest point in U.S. history.

A recent poll published by the American Psychological Association finds 59 percent of Americans surveyed think this is the lowest point in the nation's history that they can remember.

A slightly larger percentage, 63 percent, say they are stressed about the nation's future, according to the poll.

Nearly three-quarters of Democrats, 73 percent, say they are stressed about the future of the nation, compared to 56 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents.

oblivion, the GOP's anti-science, more-profits-for-billionaires agenda is pushing our planet to the brink already.

But apparently their definition of "bad" is quite different from ours; 83% of them still support Turd.

That's why such a vague question elicits confusing incomplete answers.

To you and me, the USA is in trouble because Turd is trying to destroy America.
To a Reputin, the USA is in trouble because America trying to destroy Turd.

One executive order after another.

One racial dividing comment after another.

One Putin cave in after another.

One hateful comment to an allied nation or leader after another.

so I'm not young anymore and have seen many Presidents and Congresses come and go. The past campaign, election and first 9 months of this regime (I refuse to call it an Administration) are absolutely unprecedented and abnormal in my lifetime. It's like watching the barbarians burning and sacking Rome.
